I will have some screenshots of these bad boys tommorow (Saturday) after I get to work. They look so awesome. They are made of this bright brown ORGANIC material, not ceramic anymore. I am curious if my BIOS will read them as 1800-1700 as AMD said it would. I am sooooooo stoked!!!

lucky!!!! i personally prefer the look of ceramic ones... brown is just nasty, at least the heatsink covers em.... 1800 is a 1533 chip yeh? let us know how high it will go:)

BTW i lost my ICQ contact list when my PC died on me again, could you send me a message so i can just click authorize and speed everything up?

Are going to replace your chip or will you be using it on a new system?

Finally got some "ME" time. This is a shot of the XP 1800+ bone stock. I have to wait to unlock cause the depth of the L1 bridge cut. I will keep all imformed.

Nope, just carefully placed conductive tape. The gap is like the Grand Canyon compared to the older chips.
